Re: ready to order lift, now what width wheels and backspacing?

you should be okay with 2" lift, front wont articulate much with swaybar connected if you do go offroad or to beach etc.

btw...mine did fit in garage with the 33's and 3" lift...barely but it did fit so if your inclined to do so you should be fine

88jimmy4x4, where did you get the stock looking steel wheels in the 15x8? I've got a 72k5 I want to use the stock hub caps with. My stock wheels are 15x6. That's a bit too narrow for me.
